Re: Allens from KY (Nelson) and IL (Crawford)

Sorry, but William F. Allen was born in Henry County, Kentucky.Asenath Ford was the daughter of Johnathan and Elizabeth Palmer Ford, and was also born in Henry County, Kentucky.They lived in Oblong or Robinson, Crawford County, Illinois.Their son Philander Greenleaf "Greenley" was found in Wise County, Texas in 1880.Other offspring moved to West Hope, North Dakota.When they sold their property in June 1870, they may have moved to Kansas, Colorado, Ok, TX, or any new territory opening up. William had been to California with a group going to the gold rush.Maybe he liked something he saw on the way?William is definitely related to a Bartlett and James Allen--brother, nephew?Margaret Allen was listed with Bartlett and James on an early census--mother?Help.
